Native instruments have done again with a very clever stand / carry case for the Kontrol F1 and X1 , not only is this clever design a case to transport the F1 or X1 it doubles up as a very neat stand to place the Kontrol X1 or F1 on whilst performing . The Traktor Kontrol stand has be very well thought out and when a kontrol x1 or f1 is placed on it , the Kontrol surface becomes the same height as the Kontrol Z1 mixer which happens to be the same height as the Pioneer cdj 2000 nexus and cdj 900 and pioneer cdj 850. The body of the frame is made from metal and will with stand the riggers of the working in the DJ environment. Add all this to the fact that when you have finished your set , just slip the Kontrol inside the frame with the clipping lid on top and your Kontrol is safe for transport and just to add the cherry on the cake it also comes with a bag to slip the whole case in to, just great ! 10/10 again Native Instruments
